To the Lemmy libs in North America: China is going to kick your shit in.
To the Lemmy libs in Europe: Russia is going to kick your shit in.
And it's fucking glorious.
Shitlib support of ukronazism is the ultimate cringe.
Believing that modern Russia is socialist or communist and not a plutocracy run by a handful of oligarchs is cringe.
Yeah it is, libs should stop doing it
Good that none is believing that it is then (modern Russia being socialist)
You're more than a decade late about the oligarchs in Russia, they no longer wield the power they used to. American oligarchs have much more influence on our government than Russian wealthy do now.
I guess it depends on whether or not you think Putin is an oligarch as he's seized power from many of them and placed it under himself, the same power under fewer oligarchs isn't better.
The wealthy definitely have too much control over the US government, and many of them should probably be executed for treason.
If you're calling the person who occupies the political seat of power an oligarch I think you're stretching the definition too much.
If Bill Gates were elected president would he cease to be an oligarch? If Joe Biden used his powers as president to take personal control over large portions of the country's industry to enrich himself would that not make him an oligarch?
I guess you think kings were oligarchs too? Oligarchs are not in the government but exert undue influence on it. If they're in the state then they're just state actors in some form or another.
All of them should definitely be executed for crimes against humanity.
pretty sure the only person who thinks Russia is communist is my racist aunt in Illinois lol
Weird how every time a lib comes back with "well this thing you believe is stupid!" it's always some deranged thing they made up and at least half the time projection
That's literally what Capitalism is though, why are you singling out Russia as if the states on the other side of the conflict were any different?
Who even put those Russian oligarchs in power anyway? Something something undemocratic dissolution of the USSR
Hey do you think theres a better name for a system run by oligarchs somewhere out there or is plutocracy the only one?
Haha you're right, I just felt like using oligarchs and oligarchy in the same sentence was repetitive, and I like to imagine a system run by planetoids in deep space.
astrology is an oligarchy, oh shit oh fuck
